Woman hurt in collision dies; man to be charged

A woman hit by a car has died of her injuries, and a man known to her is in police custody and will be charged, police say.

The 35-year-old woman suffered extensive injuries at the intersection of St. Anne’s Road and St. Mary’s Road about 2:30 a.m. Police haven’t specifically said whether she was struck by a car, which was being driven by a 35-year-old man, or hurt in some other fashion. She has since died of her injuries in hospital.
